What's gotten into Brandon Knight lately? He's transformed into an elite athlete over night:mjlol:

Oh and anyone else think the Thunder are done, and Durant is good as gone?

I think the protection put on the pick OKC traded to Cleveland was pretty telling

You can't totally rule out them trading Durant in the offseason if they think he's gonna walk... I would not blame Durant at all if he's frustrated with the OKC front office

If we trade green for prince and a 1st, waive prince and start crowder, I think we're a better team

Green is so damn inconsistent and on the nights he's not scoring, he's not really contributing anywhere else... At least with crowder, if his shot isn't falling, he will be make an impact defensively, rebounding. Etc.

Trade bass, wright, Thornton, and Nelson... You should have no problem moving wright and bass, and if you can't trade Nelson then tell him you'll do a buyout as long as he waives his player option for next year so he can go play wherever he wants

I'm not against turner starting now because smart isn't ready to start imo but hopefully he is before March, do you think we trade turner, should we?

James young needs to be playing right now, I think he could be an elite scorer in this league

Yeah especially since the Rondo trade, it seems like Green has just been going through the motions, hasn't been aggressive at all.

I think Green, Bass, Wright & Nelson are all gone for sure. Thornton is a possibility but not quite as sure. I think Turner sticks around, surprisingly I think he's done a solid job starting at the point. I don't think he's a long term piece but for the time being I don't mind him being here. Obviously if there's a good deal on the table for him then Danny should take it.

And yeah Smart isn't ready yet but I think he's been getting better as the season's gone on. I feel like his decision making on offense especially has improved since the start of the year.

No way they'd trade Durant. After all the cheap moves they've made over the years, the fan base would never forgive them.

The overall IQ of this whole team bugs me...those 3 are the main culprits.


In fact, this might be my least favorite Suns team of all time.I'm coming around on Markief, but don't really care for Marcus.


Gerald Green is a wildcard, but his game is sloppy as fukk.....Eric Bledsoe frustrates the hell out of me with all the unforced turnovers.He's just fukking brain dead half the time.Hornacek seems like a p*ssy.


As a Suns fan, this isn't the kind of excellence I'm used to.This is a ragtag bunch of chuckers.I think it's going to catch up to them in the end.They've been getting away with it because the schedules been kinda soft lately.


I'm hoping they have some trades lined up to balance the roster out.

Markieff is one of the building blocks of the team. If chemistry is a problem look no further than the 5'7 SG the suns signed. I mean if Demarcus doesn't like you that speaks volumes.

They couldn't do it because all Durant is worth is Otto Porter, a pick and filler (since it seems clear that he'd be in DC if he didn't wanna stay in OKC)

They need Kawhi back and fast. Their only a few Ws away from a middle playoff seeding with half the year left. But that kid needs to come back even if his hand is screwed up because they have NO SF on the roster besides him. All they have are SGs who are playing the wing and Green is their only stopper.

i thought several teams had messed up by not taking advantage of okc's injuries (namely phoenix, new orleans and sacramento).. but okc certainly didn't take off like i thought they would and outside of i guess phoenix, none of them seem to want to take advantage of any drop offs the spurs are having with their injuries. it'll be odd to see either okc or the spurs not make the playoffs but seems like phoenix may once again be in that position to play the spoiler, like they were last year with dallas and memphis. its still mad early and i still expect both okc and the spurs (shortly after they get kawhi back) to go on a few of those 5-7+ game winning streaks to make it a big clusterfukk at the mid of the pack standings.. but we'll see.
